My son got bitten by a neighbours dog last night, after being called in the garden to play, the dog went straight for him, thankfully the trousers he had on were nike shellsuit type and the dog didnt get a grip , only broke skin very slightlty and left nasty bruises- we visited A+E last night, my neighbours are good people and have a young family of their own, but its not the first time the dog has bitten a child, it bit my daughter last year but as she stuck her hands through the fence and i managed to grab her away it only resulted in a scratch, the neighbours are taking action and will no longer have the dog in the front garden, but is this enough? am really stuck on this one as what happens if dog bites again? and i also have to consider taking action against their beloved family pet, its so hard, the dog is a spaniel
